Its just funny because, a while you back, you denied being cheap, and then I quickly pulled up five examples of where you posted about being cheap on the forum.

Itís kinda hard after growing up living a life of frugality. If thereís something I want like an OLED tv, I wonít wait for it to come down in price and Iíll go out and spend $3k for it, yet Iíll go on monoprice.com to get the cheapest HDMI cables.

I think itís the years of watching my father get by on just social security and still have money left over each month. I donít mind spending money on others yet I tend to cheap out on myself.

its been close to 3 months with no cable. just Netflix and Amazon prime video.. and some on the air channels... but today i have in and signed up for DirecTv Now.. $40 a month and it plays right through my smart tv...

Cable companies offer a basic cable where you get local network channels and you can supplement them with a service such as netflix. Sort of a decent compromise. Having basic you will get offers specials to upgrade. You can take advantage of the promo and then drop when promo expires.
I am mostly happy with Fios with gigabit network. With a dvr the news is about all live tv we watch. It id]s amazing how much quicker you can watch an hour program if you skip the commercials

I am clearly an idiot as I pay over 260.00 a month for the Comcast cable/intenet/phone and I can't seem to cut the cord.

Ha ! Same thing happened to me except I have my habit whittled down to around $190.00/month.
I try to record on my DVR everything I enjoy watching so I can blow past the commercials at my convenience.
I'm an addict ~ I've not even tried quitting . . .

I had gotten discounts from spectrum as I kept calling keeping them busy working with me trying to get me a deal. Thing is to not take the first offer and do your homework. It helps that Fios was available. At the end they would not give me a deal after 5 years of doing so. I told them I was going Fios and they called my bluff. So I left . After a month they came back with offers that I was not able to get a month earlier.
But after getting true fast internet, higher resolution HD and I could hear the sound with much much lower volume on the tv it is hard to go back. The only thing I miss is the weather channel and that is only on extreme weather possible days.

You mentioned the sound quality .... With my cable it's bad / hard to hear the voices even on any tv sound setting they are mushy and all the rest of the sounds are clear . Who knows , might be my ears .

I went from a 50 volume to a 12 and it is much clearer. The 720 on cable meant that shows that like to have dark room meant you may not see anything. I rewatched some shows that were really bad and I could clearly see the scene on Fios. This on a 55" tv.
I was going to buy a soundbar for the tv but no longer need for general tv.
All my wiring from the pole to the tv's was all top notch. I've been doing electronic cabling for many decades. Over the years had a dozen "tech" tried to blame the poor quality on my end. Funny how it works great now that they are gone.
